After some testing on older kernels I was indeed able to recreate these issues. The only thing I can think of is that somehow the hardware has partially degraded such that it causes some issues with however the drivers are implemented in linux but not in windows. I think it may have something to do with current protection, because when reconnecting it to the same port it does not power back on, but if I switch ports it does. Although, if I switch ports it still does not work even though it does power on. It also causes pulseaudio to lock up until I disconnect the device, which causes many other applications to hang when they try to play audio.
I was able to get it working well enough by dedicating a powered USB hub to the audio interface, it has been a couple days with no issues, which is what leads me to believe it is something related to power. I'm not sure if this issue is fixable, or even worth dedicating resources to, but if this points to some deficiency in the kernel seeing as it *does* work fine in windows, I would be happy to provide any further diagnostics required to get a better idea of what's happening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877887 Title: [USB-Audio - Scarlett 2i2 USB, playback] fails after a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1877887/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
